Bhagwan Satiani

Biography

Dr. Satiani is interested in having residents participate in the growing area of research related to the economic consequences of our medical decisions. This includes cost of specific procedures, appropriateness of diagnostic testing, and efficiency of care. With the advent of value-based compensation and reimbursement and ‘bundled’ care, future practitioners will be asked to do more with less. Research is needed to influence clinicians to adopt the most cost-efficient ways to practice and to provide policy makers with factual information. There are opportunities particularly in the non-invasive vascular laboratory and other high volume areas.
